Scars Of A Broken Bond by Calv Momose

Chapter 1616

"What happened?" Lance probed.

A few days back, Lance was in Mathias and wasn't constantly watching Keilani. He figured she was just enjoying herself when she went out every day. Bettie wasn't the type to fabricate tales. She likely knew something.

Bettie revealed, "It's quite the story. Initially, Kira adopted a girl from another country. The girl's five now. Last year, after Sabrina lost her baby, Kira happened to have something to handle, so she sent the girl back and asked Tyrone to look after her for a while. To cheer Sabrina up, Tyrone had the girl stay by Sabrina's side. The girl was officially added to Tyrone's family records, but..."

Lance, sensing where this was going, voiced his speculation, 'But just a few days back, news broke that the girl is Tyrone and Keilani's daughter?

"Yes. I'm not clear on the specifics. It seems to tie back to Kira. She knew who the girl was from the start and wasn't fond of Sabrina. Now with Sabrina staying with me, Sabrina and Tyrone are in for a tough time."

Lance inquired, "How did they confirm that Tyrone and Keilani are the parents? Was there a DNA test?"

"Yes, there was. Tyrone had someone take the girl to a hospital affiliated with the Blakely Group for the test. The results seem legitimate. I was shocked when I heard, and Sabrina even more so."

Lance's brow furrowed, a serious look in his eyes. In that case, the test result was probably accurate. Carrying a girl for ten months wasn't something one could easily keep unnoticed.

Six years ago, Keilani was a university student, spending her days on campus. Hiding a pregnancy? She could have managed that.

Back then, Lance had just come back to the Wilson family. He barely knew Keilani and didn't pay much attention to her, let alone notice anything unusual about her.

Lance remained silent, knowing he had to talk to Keilani about this when he returned.

Bettie let out a sigh. "Do you mean neither Keilani's parents nor her uncle's family were aware Keilani had a child? Did Keilani manage to deceive them all? That's quite something. Yet, it does seem like something Keilani could pull off. That little girl once lived in my house. She's really bright and adorable. It came as a surprise to me that Keilani is her biological mother. I just hope the girl doesn't end up like Keilani someday."

Bettie made no effort to conceal her disdain for Keilani when talking to Lance.
